Rendering performance
Three-scene Blender rendering throughput. Versions, operating systems and rendering backends remain separate. This is not a gaming score.
Community submissions; cooling, power limits and system configuration can affect results.
Recorded results
Only the same benchmark, version, workload, scenario and unit share a row. Missing results are not zero. System results include the full submitted hardware and software configuration.
